Our mission is to ensure that all children receive a high quality education which has both depth and breadth so that they achieve highly, despite any barriers they may have to their learning. Through broad stimulation, exciting experiences and participation in community events, they become confident, inquisitive and well-rounded life-long learners.
We believe that children should receive a broad, deep and balanced curriculum. At Edmund Waller we have developed a bespoke curriculum that is inspiring and creative for all our learners as well as taking into account National Curriculum requirements. As a result, we teach all of the foundation subjects in a context (where possible) and each topic is rich in experiences, opportunities for educational visits, drama, art, music and P.E.
Every term, or sometimes half-term, there is a new topic for the children to learn about. The topic always begins with an educational visit. The reason for this is to excite and inspire the children, whilst providing a real experience where children can see, make, handle artifacts, gather information and take part in role-play, in order to learn and understand as much as possible. These visits also help the child with their understanding and will deepen and broaden their learning across the curriculum. Click here for this term’s Curriculum Overviews
Every topic reaches its conclusion with a memorable event. This can take many forms including setting up a museum, holding a banquet, supporting younger children in fitness activities, and even staging a carnival, all designed to showcase the learning that has taken place and the curriculum skills they have learned. Where possible, we invite parent and carers to join in the celebration.

I went to make an enquiry for a nursery place for my son, I met the head teacher who was waiting for pupils at the gate. He was very friendly and gave through information about the school. I will be more than happy for my son to attend nursery

Great School that benefits from thoughtful, intelligent leadership. Our kids get great care, and amazing extra curricular support - from football to orchestra. We love the no uniform policy too.

So proud that my kids go to this school, really friendly place. The kids learn through stimulation not forced learning. Loads of outdoor space.
